[Edu-sig] water cooler talk... Python mentors, post DjangoCon / Portland (next year Austin)

[Kirby Urner]

Water cooler talk at a Python-teaching academy, fellow faculty hobnobbing...

Anyone out there on edu-sig wanna share more about PlotDevice?

Of course I need to do some homework on my own, don't worry I will... very
soon.

My best to all at DjangoCon I got to yak with, around lunch tables
especially, and in Steve's suite

[ our own Steve Holden, Python track author and erstwhile PSF chair,
produces this conference, which has been in Chicago and DC under his care
as well -- small and esoteric, these Djangocons, under 300 I'd say,
followed by sprints (going on now) ]

Our school even got to be a DjangoCon sponsor this year, check it out...

Interesting.  Lots to look at here.  I will likely post a heads up to
edu-sig, my old time hangout in Python.org world.

Before I forget:  Django guy don't recall who right now:  the request
module is awesome.  For wrapping head around HTTP API.  In comparison to
urllib2 in standard library.  I haven't even Googled it yet, now I will...

This looks like a good entry point:

OK, back to work.
